Al-Wakrah SC vs Al-Arabi SC Prediction: Both teams are down bad

Al-Arabi and Al-Wakrah are set to face off in the 13th round of the Qatar Stars League at the Saoud Bin Abdulrahman stadium. Al-Wakrah is struggling, having lost their last three league games, while Al-Arabi recently came off a 3-1 win over Shahaniya. We envisage a tough game with a minimum of two goals from either team. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.

Al-Wakrah SC (8th)

Form in the League: LLLWL

Al-Wakrah has now suffered three consecutive league defeats with only a single win in their last 5 league games and 4 losses. Their last league game against Al-Ahli Doha was a disaster for Al-Wakrah as they suffered a 6-3 defeat. 

Ricardo Gomes is the team's top scorer with 7 goals to his name this season. Al-Wakrah is currently 8th placed in the league with an overall league statistics of 4 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses from 12 games played. 

Al-Arabi SC (10th)

Form in the League: WLLLW

Al-Arabi finally put their string of inconsistencies behind them as they finally secured a victory after three consecutive league losses. The victory came against Al-Shahaniya in their last league game and it ended in a 3-1 victory. 

Al-Arabi continues to struggle in the league this season as they also have an overall league statistics of 3 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses from the 12 league games played. Can they secure yet another win against Wakrah on Friday?

Expert Betting Tips

Looking at their previous encounters, Al-Arabi have won their last three of their last 4 meetings with no losses in those four encounters. Both teams are great teams with good attacking prospects but they seem to be experiencing some sort of dip in form which we believe would not affect their goal-scoring potentials in this game on Friday. Our prediction is on the goals option and we believe both teams will find the net here. Please see some of their head-to-head stats below;

• No losses for Al-Arabi in their last 4 meetings
• Al-Wakrah is without a clean sheet in their last 16 games
• More than 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 encounters
• Both teams scored in 5 of their last 7 games
• Both teams have found the net in 6 of their last 7 meetings.
